Panning

Open to photographers with a ranking outside the top 1000. There are two other 'Panning' contests currently open to other ranks. Take a look at the leaderboard for more information on Photocrowd rankings.

Panning is a technique where the photographer follows a moving subject with their camera as they take the photo, resulting in a relatively sharp object against a blurry background. This method is especially effective when capturing a typically speedy object such as a car or a running dog, as it gives the shot a palpable sense of movement.

How it works

Every photo submitted will be available
for the crowd to rate once the
submissions period has ended. You can
see all the images uploaded to a
contest, but will need to rate them
to see how they’re ranked once the
rating period begins.

Some contests on Photocrowd also have a judge.
After the submission period closes the
judge chooses their favourite
images and writes some image reviews.
The crowd and judge results will be
announced on the same day.
